The term "Silly Season" refers to the second half of the racing season, when many teams seek to make changes to prepare for next year.

It also is home to pictures of the many paint schemes that teams use throughout the year, as well as television schedules, and tributes to deceased drivers. From 2002 until 2004 the site was hosted by Knight Ridder's ThatsRacin.com. Since 2005, the site has been hosted by, and affiliated with, ESPN.com, but ownership was retained by Adamczyk. On April 2, 2007, as part of its renewed interest in NASCAR following reacquisition of broadcasting rights, ESPN purchased Jayski.com, though Adamczyk continues to be the operator.
